Norwegian University of Science and Technology

name: Norwegian University of Science and Technology
description: 'The Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) is Norway''s largest university, headquartered in
  Trondheim with campuses in Gjovik and Alesund. NTNU operates no consolidated institutional developer portal and publishes
  no OpenAPI, AsyncAPI or other machine-readable API contract of its own. Its one openly callable, institution-operated surface
  is the OAI-PMH interface of NTNU Open Access Journals at www.ntnu.no/ojs, which answers Identify, ListMetadataFormats and
  ListSets over sixteen NTNU-published journals. NTNU also runs an institutional API gateway at api.ntnu.no, but every path
  on it is behind Feide OAuth and no public documentation, contract or scope list is served without an institutional account.
  Everything else that looks programmable under NTNU''s name is operated by somebody else and entered here as a tenant relationship,
  not as NTNU engineering: research data in the NTNU collection of DataverseNO (run by UiT The Arctic University of Norway
  on Dataverse software), research information in Cristin and the national research archive NVA (both run by Sikt), timetables
  in TP on educloud.no, identity in the Feide federation where NTNU exists as the scope ntnu.no on Sikt''s national IdP rather
  than as its own eduGAIN entity, and teaching in a hosted Canvas tenant. This repo previously carried 35 OpenAPI files and
  87 derived artifacts that were splits of the generic Dataverse 6.6 product contract; they were the vendor''s, not NTNU''s,
  and have been removed.'

    Fauna norvegica, Chironomus and the NIKT conference proceedings. Its OAI-PMH 2.0 interface is open, unauthenticated and
    institution operated: verb=Identify returns repositoryName "NTNU Open Access Journals" with adminEmail postmottak@ntnu.no,
    verb=ListMetadataFormats returns oai_dc, marcxml, oai_marc and rfc1807, and verb=ListSets returns the per-journal and
    per-section sets. This is the only openly callable API surface in this profile that NTNU itself operates. The companion
    OJS REST API at /api/v1/ is present but returns 403 without credentials.'

    Norway on Dataverse software. The collection is real and NTNU-scoped — its registered contact is research-data@ntnu.no
    and it has been released since 2018 — but the API that serves it is the generic Dataverse 6.6 product contract published
    at dataverse.no/openapi and shared by every Dataverse installation. That contract belongs to the Dataverse project and
    to DataverseNO, not to NTNU, and is therefore recorded here as a tenant relationship rather than saved as an NTNU OpenAPI.

  detail: 'NTNU publishes no API contract of its own — no OpenAPI, AsyncAPI, GraphQL schema, llms.txt or developer portal
    exists on any NTNU host (www.ntnu.no/llms.txt 404, developer.ntnu.no does not resolve). It does operate a real API gateway
    at api.ntnu.no, but every path on it, including /docs, /openapi.json and /status, redirects to Feide OAuth and serves
    the same account-chooser page, so no contract, scope list or reference could be read without an institutional account.
    The one institution-operated surface that is openly callable is the OAI-PMH interface of NTNU Open Access Journals at
    www.ntnu.no/ojs, which was fully probed and is recorded as an API. All remaining programmable footprint is tenant: DataverseNO
    (UiT), Cristin and NVA (Sikt), TP (educloud.no) and Feide (Sikt). This profile is thin because NTNU''s own API surface
    is behind a national identity federation, not because it was unreachable.'
